Actually it was the fuzz that was doing the begging.
All the target had to do was wiggle their finger.

Wow. Click a link and go to the Klink. (?) Hmmm...

I wonder how long it will be before they end up raiding a blind man's home.


 

What about those with a open wireless network?

Your neighbor or just someone passing by could be looking at this stuff on your IP...

Good....The first thing the FBI have EVER done that is worth a damn. The intel they can get and pass down to local and state police will help big time.

Well in this case I have to agree with the poster that said only htose looking for this would click the links.

Anyone who read the article and read the image that was posted needs to reread it.

The agent went to a forum offering a video of a four year old yes a four year old engaging in sexual activity with an adult male. It also says this “4yo hc with dad (toddler, some oral, some anal)”
All of the links pictured that had 4yo_suck in the link itself.

Any fool clicking that deserves their door kicked down. If you’re going to a forum that offers or discusses child porn than you are going to come across the links. I have never seen any forum that spoke of child porn and allowed links to stay if they were there for any other reason.

Sorry but you cannot miss that this was supposed to be child porn not a seventeen year old.

Raist

If you really want to know what is sick, look at what sentences people get for actually assaulting a chid and compair it with what people get for just looking at a picture on the internet.
Unless you are paying someone to abuse children and send you the video, I do not see where the crime is.
People have been arrested and brought to trial for looking at drawings of children. That finally went to federal appeals court and got struck down by a Clinton appoited Judge.
The authrities wanted to be able to prosicute people who created computer graphics that look like chidren.
Meanwhile people continue to molest children and get probation, while downloaders get prison.

Yeah we all know child porn is bad.

But what I would like to know is what if the Feds find out that it was another minor looking at the sites?

What would they do then?

I know some people are against the "catch a predator" show, but at least with that they are able to show intent, even if there is no victim.

This is a total rape of our rights.

As stated in the article, the address could have even been hotlinked in an email, with some innocuous message.

Furthermore, how do they prove who actually clicked the link? I know that I had roomates for a while, and we all shared the same computer.

Lastly, this is a perfect example of Big Brother moving the goal posts. Today its kiddie porn. Tomorrow they're busting down the door because you were looking at weapons, or a Canadian pharmacy.

That's messed up but reassuring.I'm always checking out hard core chicks doin anal,LOL. When cleaning my history found a homo pic and accused my son, LOL.

Time to go apologize and breath a sigh of relief.

Doesn't this void the 4th and 5th amendment? No unreasonable search and seizure?

This has such a great chance of being abused. That's where we all get ourselves in to trouble.

See, they take advantage of the emotional and controversial problems. They use our own emotion and anger against us.

An overwhelming majority are against, and are angered at, child pornography, and for very good and obvious reasons. But being against that does not mean you should support every measure to deal with it.

There are fake links, re-directs, fake videos, graphics that look like a video box such as the ones that I'm sure everyone has seen where it looks like a YouTube video, but is really a graphic that is a link that directs you to some website you don't want to go to.

The point is, people go to websites they don't want to go to all of the time because of how many ways there are that people can FORCE you on to their site. There are even pop-ups that randomly come up that, even if you CLOSE them, they send you to some unwanted site.

How do you even stop that?

I don't even support the "if you're browsing for x amount of time" suggestion because it still leaves everyone open to abuse of the law and system.

Again, people need to learn how to be for crack downs but against measures that go too far. This measure goes too far. People are too quick to accept any measures to deal with a problem they think needs to be dealt with, and they label anyone who disagrees with the measures as someone who supports the problem, i.e. whoever is against this likes looking at child porn.

It's unfair and it's very troublesome.

As a victim of pop-ups and re-directs to extremely unwanted sites, as I'm sure most of us have been at some point, it's worrying to say the least. There's no telling what they'll do to get people to these sites of theirs to meet their quota, as biggie smalls said in the beginning.

By the way, biggie smalls and apc, and a few others, great posts. Starred.
